"Business as Usual"

Sunny skies
Morning dew
The mirror smiles
As I dress u
Nothing strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

"Sunny side up
No milk please"
I watch you dress
Now with ease
Nothing strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

Nervous smiles
Heartbeat loud
Your black robe
Makes me proud
Nothing strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

Business suits
Plans and dreams
Ambitious chatter
Eyes that gleam
Nothing Strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

The car crash
The telephone
Someone's dead
A Painful groan
Nothing strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

Flowers and wreaths
Dust to dust
Part of me buried
And the other will rust
Nothing strange
Nothing peculiar
It's Business as usual

Emptiness and pain
A void made
Tears roll
Loneliness stays
Why is it strange?
Why is it peculiar?
How long before...It's Business as usual...

It probably will never be business as usual...maybe it was never intended to be business as usual...'The words indicate the removing of what can be shaken-that is, created things-so that what cannot be shaken may remain.' (Heb. 12: 27) These situations will change us. The only thing we can choose is whether it will make us better or bitter. Interestingly, eternity will not erase the scars of the crucified Savior. They just take a glorious new meaning.
